Needs Analysis
High Water Quality Requirements

The quality of water used in the catering industry is directly related to food safety, and catering water must meet national drinking water standards.

High Water Consumption

Water consumption in the catering industry is concentrated, with a high proportion of water used in kitchens, cleaning, and by customers, leading to high flow demand during peak water consumption times.

Multi-point Uses

Beverage preparation requires high standards for water hardness and taste, while kitchen and cleaning water have lower quality requirements.

Equipment Requirements

Catering equipment such as coffee machines and ice makers need to be used in conjunction with water purification and softening equipment to extend their service life.

Precautions
  • Ensure water quality safety. Ensure that the water used meets national drinking water hygiene standards, and regularly test the quality of the water, especially for direct drinking water and cooking water, to avoid microbial contamination and excessive heavy metals.
  • Equipment selection and configuration. Select appropriate water purification equipment based on the size and business type of the restaurant, and install special water filtration devices for equipment such as ice makers and coffee machines to reduce the damage caused by scale and impurities.
  • Flow and pressure assurance. Select equipment based on peak water consumption to avoid insufficient water supply, and install booster pumps or pressure reducing valves to prevent equipment from malfunctioning or being damaged due to unstable water pressure.
  • Equipment maintenance and cleaning. Replace pre-filters, water purifier filter cartridges, and membrane elements promptly to avoid blockages or aging that could affect water quality.
